[PATCH] SPI core tweaks, bugfix
This includes various updates to the SPI core:
- Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths.
- The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers
from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts.
- Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later.
- Docs say more about memory management. Highlights the use of DMA-safe
i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata.
- Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer;
this is only one of the possible memory management policies.
Nothing to break code that already works.
